Copper gleams from the wide Aglia blade of this specimen, which is prominently stamped with "MEPPS-0-AGLIA" and "FRENCH PAT." Bearing the product code 18184, this 3/32oz (2.5g) spinner features the classic Mepps cone rotation system designed for immediate blade engagement upon hitting the water. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure is equipped with a dressed treble hook utilizing natural squirrel tail hair bound with a distinct red wrap. The hardware includes a series of brass beads and a larger spherical weight that balances the wire assembly. While the components were manufactured in France, the final assembly took place in the USA, a hallmark of the brand's distribution history that gained massive momentum under Todd Sheldon. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved metal surfaces and clean, full dressing. This size 0 configuration is a traditional choice for light-line applications when targeting trout or panfish.
